An Initial Simulation Study Towards the Patient-Specific Estimation of Stopping Power Ratio and Sound Velocity Using Protoacoustics: A Sensitivity Matrix Method

Authors: Ye Chen, Koki Kasamatsu, Taeko Matsuura, Taichi Murakami

Affiliation: Hokkaido University, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST)

Abstract Preview: Purpose: In proton therapy, CT-based estimation of the stopping power ratio (SPR) is a significant source of range uncertainty. Protoacoustics have been developed to estimate the range in vivo, but fe...
